Mosley over Oscar would deserve a mention here if we were talking about the naughties, rather than the last 10 years. Which we aren't so, I'm...
:lol::lol: I've read a couple of places that there was a tacit agreement to restrict Ruiz' weight, but I don't think it was official. That was...
There's far more chance Roy was taking performance enhancers than Toney was, IMO. Toney got caught taking an anti-inflamatory, it's about as...
He beat John Ruiz.
And as I remember Ruiz had weight stipulations put on him by Jones. If I'm wrong on that I'll hold my hands up, but I'm sure he weighed unusually...
No, because Toney did it better to the same guy. And so what if Toney asked Roy for advice, it'd be like Tyson asking Holmes for advice fighting...
Jones over Ruiz can't be mentioned without Toney doing the exact same thing over the exact same guy without weight stipulations. I won't stand...
Hell, Toney beat him more assuredly and without any weight stipulations. James Toney over John Ruiz - most significant victory of the Naughties...
So a fat can't-be-arsed-anymore James Toney ties for most significant win of the decade does he?
Morales beating Pac.
It'd be a great fight (as Dariusz-Roy would have been) but I'd favour Bernard to get a little more clean work done and steal enough rounds to come...
Christ this would be an epic fight. No idea who would win, but it'd be great.
Agreed. His balance and ability to pull the trigger had already gone to shit by the first Tarver fight, you could see the decline.
Yes he was shot or nearly shot. But the style dynamic was still obvious to see, in a way it wasn't obvious in the Tarver, Jones or Hopkins fights....
I've generally taken Floyd's side through this whole debacle, but Manny is light years better than anybody Floyd has ever fought at any weight....
They're both a pair of fish fuds.
Seems we're all agreed. Good.
I came away from the early rounds of the Calzaghe fight pretty convinced a prime Jones would have done a number on him. And comfortably. At no...
Yeah Roy was just standing there not trying....that was the dynamic of that fight. You pretty much dunno what you're watching.
Sorry, not much of a thread, I'm purely curious to gauge perception here. Just stick your vote in please. Any further comment/analysis is gravy.
Interesting theory.....but roy still had good footwork and handspeed but couldn't win a minute of a round. Sometimes you see an old fogy lose a...
Except he didn't - they beat fighters of that level but not of that particular style. Johnson was built to trouble Jones.
Floyd's name should become a blanked expletive on every boxing message board & in every boxing magazine for the rest of time if this shit doesn't...
I think Jones would struggle with Johnson at any point. That was a one sided domination, not a 1 punch KO.
Floyd should swan dive into a volcano.
Agreed.
Dominant rounds where a guy puts a shit storm of hurt on the other should be differentiated from close but clear 2 way rounds. Especially in the...
Listen to Floyd's voice cracking under the stress like he wants to cry. The chap really is an overgrown child.
There should be more rounds scored even. And more rounds scored 10-8. Generally I mean, not in this particular fight.....
He's been such a let down down I can barely believe it.
